easily observed, it is already known, to place semi-circular supports of U-shapedcross sec- 6 tion oscillatable on a common axle, a rod or the like. These semi-circular supports were hitherto oscillatably mounted at one end only. The other end was not guided. Gonsequently, there is a certain amount of play between 10 two record supports, sothat one support-can scrape against the record in another support during removal. V

In order to avoid this objection in a reoord receptacle with semi-circularrecord supports oscillatably mounted at one end, record supports are provided according to' the invention, each with a downwardly extending rib-like projection, which is guided in a slot in the bearing plate on the entire length of the path of oscillation. Consequently, this invention absolutely avoids damaging of the records when being inserted in the supports. Moreover bylifting the supports when removing the records no damage of the records 5 can be caused.

An embodiment of the invention is illus-.

trated' by way of example in the accompanying drawing in which:

Fig. l shows the receptacle in perspective view, one side wall removed.

Fig. 2 is a side view of a record support.

Fig. 3 shows intop plan view the arrangement ofthe record supports in the bearing plate. p

Fig. 4 shows in side elevation an lnsert for small records.

Ina box I) having a hinged lid a several supports a of aluminium, hard rubber, celluloid, papier-mach or the like for records are mounted at their rear end on an axle (Z so that they can oscillate around this axle. The

supports 0 are guided at their front end in slots 6 of a bearing plate 7. .For this purpose the record supports 0 have, according to the invention, on the outer side (Fig. 2) a riblike extension 12., which is reliably guided in the slots e during the entire oscillation'of the record supportc. Each record support 0 has at this side at theupper end a shoulder g for the insertion of a hook key it. Theindividual record supports a'can be lifted and turned around the axle cl by means of this key h, as shown in Fig. 1. The removal of j the records 2' is thereby facilitated. The key cular record support 0. I

For facliltatlng'the selection of a record agraduation m may be arranged on the top side of the bearing plate 7. Each record receptacle may be arranged for records of one and thesame size or for records of all sizes. For records smaller than the commonly used records inserts Z may be used which have a groove in the upper edge designed to hold the small record. 1

I claim;

1. A receptacle for sound records, comprising in combination a'box, an axle fixed in said box, a bearing plate having slots in its inner edge fixed in said box at a distance from said axle, semicircular recordsupports having a groove in the upper edge each 80. adapted to carry a record oscillatably mounted at the rear end on said axle, and a downwardly extending rib-like projection on the V front end of each support adapted to engage p with the corresponding slot in said bearing plate and to reliably guide'said support during the entire oscillating movement of the same.

2. A sound record receptacle, asspecified inclaim 1, comprising in combination with the record supports, an insert plate having a groove in the upper edge corresponding to the circumference of small records adapted to be inserted in said supports for accommodating small records. y In testimony whereof I aifix .my signature.
